External Lifting Tools (ELT)
IHC External Lifting Tools (ELT) simplify the handling of tubular piles. Our ELT product line consists of two basic designs:
-
Standard as a static holding device, supported by the jacket frame to grip a lower pile section while new sections are welded on.
-
With side opening hanging from a crane hook, to pick up piles from a horizontal position, rotate them to a vertical position whilst lifting and then carry out stabbing and lowering. This mode requires two tools on a combination of one ELT and one ILT and is carried out when extremely long piles must be handled.
|
The ELT unit consists of two semicircles shaped bodies with the wedge and counter-wedge assemblies equally spaced around the inner circumference.
Bronze alloy bearing / slide plates with grease channels are bolted between the two wedges to guarantee low internal friction. The double acting wedge operating cylinders are mounted inside the tool housing. These cylinders create a concentric pile clamping and symmetric pile and tool loading.
Spacers prevent the wedges of getting damaged when the pile is passing through.
